Installed in a private residence, this publicly accessible window merges personal and civic life.

Pardon our progress: we’re installing a new TV soon, plus a shade to protect it from the punishing afternoon sun.

Artist/curator Melissa Yes has been seeking new homes for art and has found one: a downtown residence with an open heart and a big window, now christened as the Media Window.

The window pane divides and connects the living room to the sidewalk. Both the home and the city are grounds for love and belonging. Art lives between and illuminates them both.

The Media Window is privately operated from its interior. It will host a range of projects that reach outside, and will prioritize Vinegar, a nonprofit curatorial project, as its primary activator. The missions and the loves align.
